This smartwatch is great for serious runners, businessmen, teens and parents, as it tracks and allows them to keep in contact when they need to. Priced at under $200, it has the following key features for runners:

Great for runners of all ages, Nike’s line of running sneakers makes a great gift because they look as good as they perform. They provide excellent support for arches, heels and ankles, so runners can walk, jog or sprint without fear of injury.

If you need a gift for someone who loves music as much as they love to run, then wireless earbuds are the perfect gift. Traditional earbuds are a pain for runners, as the wire that connects to their phone tugs and the buds tend to slide off.

Wireless buds eliminate that problem, staying securely in place no matter how fast they run. Many are waterproof and sweat proof, great if it starts to rain, and allow runners to control volume, songs, calls and more through voice command, leaving their hands free at all times.

Plus, many have noise cancellation, to block out distractions, along with Bluetooth, ideal if the runner is a young teen that needs to answer mom and dad’s call. They range in price, from $19.99 and up, and are good for young adults and music lovers.

Available as a wristband, headband or to be strapped around the backs of your sneakers, safety lights are a must if you know someone who loves to run at night. Made with LED lights, these clip-on style ones from Rumble stay securely on your sneakers so you can be seen no matter how dark it gets.

Truly affordable, at just $12.99, there are 4 light modes: solid, flashing, sensor, and S.O.S. They are lightweight and great for runners of all ages.

If you know a runner who is not into tech gadgets and prefers good old pen and paper, a runner’s journal makes a nice gift. These journals do more than just track run times and distance, offering a complete runner’s experience.

They have inspirational quotes, sections to log food and calories, and progress charts to analyze things like increased stamina, terrain difficulty and more. Helps paint a complete picture of what works and what doesn’t in every aspect of running, from diet to exercise routines. Perfect for beginnersand older runners.

Know someone training for a marathon or have someone who is just starting out? If so, you may want to get them a cookbook for runners. Runners need lots of carbs for energy, but they also need to know what carbs are good carbs and how to balance those carbohydrates so they don’t get weighed down.

A cookbook geared towards runners can help with that. For newbies it will teach them the right way to eat, and for seasoned runners it will give them new recipe ideas. It’s available in hardcover or for Kindles and other E-readers.

Running takes a toll on legs and feet, which is why calf compression sleeves are a smart gift. They may sound boring, but they are anything but, as they come in a myriad of designs and colors, making them fun and effective.
